Re: What is this?
Thanks for all your thoughtful advice and information. This is starting
to come together based on what you've provided and some other things
that I've learned.
I understand that the outside points are to signify the eight points of
the Buddhist 'Dharma Wheel' that represent 'noble eightfold path'. As
for the symbol in the middle, all I'd been able to learn was that it
might be 'something Australian'. I would have to believe that the 'hei
matau' is the correct symbol.
Buddhist Wheel: Right understanding, intention, speech, action,
livelihood, effort, mindfulness and concentration.
Hei Matau: Strength, determination, peace, prosperity, good health and
safe travel over water.
I appreciate all your help in helping me solve this puzzle.
